This exclusive villa is very well situated just opposite Akureyri. It is rented by celebrities but also by other people who enjoy the location and the high standard of the house. It was built by the Icelandic architect Fanney Hauksdottir in 2006. It was recently refurbished with high-quality equipment such as ReVoX audio equipment as well as with attractive materials such as walnut, shale and glass.

The house is surrounded by a 16'000 m2 garden and a security fence. An alarm system and cameras ensure safety for the guests. Any kind of additional service is available on request.

During winter snow drifts may block road access to the house. The road to our fence and the driveway is not maintained during winter time. In this case a short walk (400 meters) is necessary. If you have difficulties with this, have a look at our house Leifsstadir: http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p2365219.

Please note that this is a strictly non-smoking environment.

We had a wonderful stay at this home and wished we would have planned to stay longer. It is a beautiful, clean, relaxing villa that overlooks the town of Akureyi. The property is relaxing and well managed. We hope to come back and stay again one day!

This property and home are absolutely gorgeous....so much more beautiful than the pictures can show. Once you arrive, you will never want to leave. We spent the evenings sitting quietly inside the darkness looking out over the city lights across the fjord. The outdoor hot tub and indoor steam bath were wonderfully relaxing. We also enjoyed watching the morning colors evolve across the sky. We found the kitchen amenities perfect to cook a nice dinner for four on our last evening in this beautiful home. If we ever find ourselves back in Akureyri, we will DEFINITELY stay here again!

We wanted to get away and enjoy the Northern Lights and simply decompress from our everyday life. This property perfectly accommodated our aims.

The views were so great that we spent quite a bit of time just staring! This was a very convenient location to see Akureyie and the sites in the area. We would definitely stay here again if we ever get back.

We loved staying here. It felt so posh, but wasn't stuffy--you could really relax and enjoy it. I was completely envious of all the storage space, but the average visitor won't need all of that. It was also nice to have a quiet space to do some work in the office and stare out the windows up at the hills. The house has some wear on fixtures and so on, and the control panels are a little hard to decipher at first, but those are just minor things. Overall, it was an incredible place to stay. And communication was prompt and efficient. Would definitely recommend!

Location

Akureyri, Iceland

The house Hrafnabjörg is one of the most attractive houses in Iceland. It is located on a hill just opposite the city center of Akureyri with a magnificent view to the fjord. The short distance to the city, the opportunities for trips and the standard of the house are one of it's kind.
